TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, G. H. BAXTER, of Geneseo, in the county of Henry, and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compound for Cleaning Silver-Ware, Jewelry, 850.; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention, which I entitle Yeomans Magnetic Renewer and Cleanser, consists of the following ingredients:

One gallon clean soft water.

Three ounces pulverized borax.

Three ounces pulverized sulphate of soda.

One and a half ounce pulverized sulphate of copper.

Two ounces clean common salt.

Seven ounces cyanuret of potassium.

Three ounces alcohol.

Two ounces aromatic spirits of ammonia; which are all put together.

Let the mixture stand twelve hours, and it is ready for use.

I do not, however, confine myself to theexact proportions'of the ingredients mentioned above. The same may be varied, according to circumstances. I i

i This compound, it will be seen, contains no acids, but is perfectly simple and harmless.

By this solution, silver, silver-plated ware, jewelry, &c., may be'cleaned without the use of powders, or rubbing, scouring, or any of the old, troublesome plans.

The operation is as follows:

Pour the solution overthe article, rinse oil with clean soft water, and wipe dry with a clean cotton cloth, and the article is whitened, cleaned, and polished in an instant. It only acts upon the tarnish, dirt, 850., without any injury to the metal.

Having thus fully described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The above-described Yeomans Magnetic Reneiver and Cleanser, composed and operating substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 18th day of May, 1868.

G. H. BAXTER.
